Another great celebration is the 23rd of August where the locals, wanting to banish the ghosts of pirates that roamed the island for many years, reenact the invasion of pirates in the harbor. There are many festivals at Paros since every saint has a little church on the island dedicated to him. And despite the fact that nowadays there are many other modern ways of enjoyment, these festivals are maintained whilst providing a chance for the people of Paros to get together and have fun.
